MLA and APA Exercise MLA and APA Exercise – ENGL 100 This exercise in MLA and APA formatting and citations should be completed electronically and submitted as a word document on Moodle before class on the due date. MLA / APA In-Text Citations Each phrase below includes a quotation or paraphrase from a published source. Copy and paste the text into the space below, and complete each sentence to include proper in-text citations in both MLA and APA style (ie. copy and paste twice (one for MLA and one for APA) and edit accordingly). Make sure the punctuation appears in the right place (you may need to move periods or commas). * remember that the in-text citation should come directly after the quotation and before the punctuation (ie. commas, periods, etc.), if applicable. Each sentence will be graded out of 3 marks (1 for correct citation format, 1 for correct placement of citation, and 1 for correct punctuation). 1. quotation from The Hidden Persuaders (published 1981) by Vance Oakley Packard, page 19 Efforts to sustain the post-war boom meant that “for each man, woman, and child in America in 1955, roughly $53 was spent to persuade him or her to buy products of industry.” MLA: APA: 2. quotation from “Crackdown Feeds a Flourishing World of Graffiti” (published in the New York Times, March 20, 2011) by Meribah Knight, page 29B One commonly held stereotype about graffiti is that it “helps perpetuate gang violence and can foment a sense of urban disorder.” MLA: APA: 3. paraphrase from Bodies That Matter (published 1993) by Judith Butler, no specific page number The benchmark theory of ‘performativity’ asserts that gender is a role that men and women perform according to the expectations of society. MLA: APA: 4. quotations from After the Fall: The Failure of Communism and the Future of Socialism (published 1991) by Robin Blackburn, page 15 While Blackburn asserts that Soviet Communism “failed to furnish the appropriate context for complex economic development,” he also suggests that it “formed an increasingly sophisticated and skilled elite.” MLA: APA: 5. quotation from “Eating Disorders: Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge Eating Disorder” (published online 2002) in the International Encyclopedia of Social and Behavioural Sciences Since an eating disorder can be “a way of avoiding failures in everyday life because a wide range of important things in life are reduced to a small area of shape and weight concerns,” the process of recovery involves much more than just improving self-image. MLA: APA: 6. quotation from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (film, released 2004, 00:08:24) produced by Anthony Bregman and Steve Golin Joel’s cynicism about love is established from the beginning of the film as he muses that Valentine’s Day “is a holiday invented by greeting card companies to make people feel like crap.” MLA: APA: MLA Works Cited / APA References (full citations) Create both an MLA ‘Works Cited’ full citation and an APA ‘Reference’ citation for each source below. (All the pieces of information you will need are provided.) Questions will be graded for the proper placement and formatting of each of the given components (1 mark for each component). You may type in the space provided below. 7.
